tl;dr:
2 teams, point capping, made to have rounds last typically a few hours, each point has an alignment, so when you spawn on it alignment chooses if you can be a wizard, warrior, soldier or techwhatever.
You can customize your weapons, but powerful weapons can have drawbacks.
FURTHER EXPLANATION:
2 large teams, goal is to have the other team not own any points.
Game starts with both teams owning 3 points each, all other points neutral.
Big map with cappable points that you can spawn on if your team owns them.
Each point has a different "value" and "alignment".
Value of the point is how long it takes to cap and how many NPCs defend it.
The alignment of a point determines what type you can spawn as: Arcane, Steel, Blaze, Tech.
That is, you can choose to spawn on an Arcane point that you own if you wish to be a wizard, Steel for swords, bows, maces, etc., Blaze for guns and explosives, and Tech for something which is a whole chaotic mix of stuff.
You can level up, gaining small amounts of exp for killing (Almost none if the player is a far lower level than you, a rather large amount if they're far higher), significant amounts for capturing, and large-to-utterlyridiculous amounts of exp for achievements.
Each level you gain gives Skill Points, which you can spend on Brawn, Agility, and Equipment. Brawn increases health and decreases effects of equipment weight. Agility increases speed, melee swing speed, and ranged accuracy. Loadout increases the total quality of equipment you are allowed to spawn with.
You can customize the weapons and armour you spawn with, which vary in a number of ways. They all have "Weight" and "Quality".
Player speed is pretty much Agility÷((Total Equipment weight+Currently held weapon)÷Brawn), so keep your weight relative to your brawn. Weight also has other assorted debuffs, which are all decreased by brawn.
Quality is how powerful the game creator has assessed the item to be. Morning Supernova has a higher quality than your typical Morning Star, since it blows everything to bits with ease, and isn't that much heavier. You have a limit to how much quality all your equipment can total.
Maximum quality total is pretty much Loadout times Honor.
Honor is how impressive your last 40 kills are. How impressive the kill is increases with victim level and decreases with the quality of the weapon you killed with.
So if your last 40 kills were all beating level 100s to death with wooden swords, talking about your honor would be beyond boasting, it would be nigh blasphemy, and you would be able to use pretty much any loadout you wanted.
A small range but large scope of vehicles exist.
A few side notes:
A typical player spending all their points on agility might get a 2% swing speed increase for the heaviest Steel melee but 100% for the lightest Steel melee. However, agility would significantly increase the swing speed of extremely heavy weapons if the player had enough brawn, as brawn decreases weapon weight.
Similar situations also crop up with armour and player speed.
So, if anyone is interested in contributing to this project, I'll create the full documentation, and continue creating the map (Not uploaded) |
